doc & merle watson - freight train blues lyrics

[verse 1]
i was born in dixie in a boomer shack
in a little shanty by a railroad track
the hummin’ of the driver was my lullaby
and the freight train whistle taught me how to cry

[chorus]
i got the freight train blues
lordy, lordy, lordy, got ’em in the bottom of my ramblin’ shoes
when the whistle blows, i got to go
lordy, lordy, think i’m never gonna lose them freight train blues

[verse 2]
my daddy is a fireman, and my mama dear
well, she’s the only daughter of an engineer
my sweety is a brakeman and it sure ain’t a joke
’cause she knows just exactly how to keep me broke

[chorus]
i got the freight train blues
lordy, lordy, lordy, got ’em in the bottom of my ramblin’ shoes
when the whistle blows, i got to go
lordy, lordy, i think i’m never gonna lose them freight train blues

[verse 3]
i love the sweetest little girl in this whole town
she’s the only thing that’s made me settle down
the only thing that makes me want to navigate
is the wildcat whistle on an outbound freight
[chorus]
i got the freight train blues
lordy, lordy, lordy, got ’em in the bottom of my ramblin’ shoes
when the whistle blows, i got to go
lordy, lordy, i think i’m never gonna lose them freight train blues
